Quick Summary
TDS on testing charges depends on nature of service. If technical or professional, section 194J applies. If under contract, section 194C may apply. Deduction may be on total amount depending on terms and tax treatment.

yes TDS applicable U/s 194J 10% on total amount i.e including Service tax amount.

 

Threshold limit Rs.30,000

The tds applicability for testing and inspection charges shall be as per the agreement. If it is done on a contract basis then the tds shall be applicable as per section 194C and if it comes under technical services then the same shall be deductible under section 194J
